It is time for our second
book fair of the year. Home and School is giving $5 to all students to spend at
the book fair for a book. That means that each student can at least buy one
book. Total, Home and School will be donating $1470 to the students of the
school. Saint Jacques students will have their book fair on Friday, February 15th
while the Concorde students will have their book fair on Tuesday, February 19th.

This week is the Hooked on School week for school perseverance. Encouraging your child every day is very important. Take two minutes to remind them how proud you are of them. Any plus can make a difference in their success.

There will be a
Winter Wonderland Dance for the Concorde students (grade 3 to 6) on Friday,
January 25th 2019 from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm ($5.00 entry fee). All
proceeds from the dance will be going to grads
of 2019! A bake sale will also be happening, therefore bring enough
money. Students can be dropped off at the main door of the Concorde Center.
They can be picked up from the dance starting at 9:30 pm. A teacher will be at
the main door to ensure safety. Hope to see many students there!

Our next non-uniform day is on January
25th. Students will be allowed to wear something different than the usual dress
code for that day. In order for students to participate, we suggest a $2
donation. This amount is just a suggestion and it is not obligatory. All money
raised on that day will be going to the Phelan McDermid Foundation. You will
find the Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/22q13/ with information on this very rare syndrome.
A sweater campaign is also available should you wish to support this cause to
another level. Sweaters can be ordered following the procedure on the Facebook
Page or by sending an email at genevieve.chevalier@td.com.Please
note that if you are buying a sweater, students will be able to wear it on March
15th as all students will be allowed to wear a Saint Patrick shirt with no
donation.
